'''Lepidus''' was a powerful [[Brute]] [[Shipmaster]] of the [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]] ''[[Triumphant Declaration]]'' in the [[Fleet of Furious Redemption]]. He was the first [[Covenant]] to hear of the [[Key of Osanalan]]. He then informed the [[High Prophet of Truth]] of the Key, which sparked the [[Battle of Cleveland]]. He was seen reporting to the High Prophet of Truth aboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], when the [[Master Chief]] attempted to assassinate Truth. Truth escaped, as did Lepidus, however every Covenant unit who stayed in the room was killed by [[John-117]]. Lepidus is later seen aboard the Triumphant Declaration in the orbit of [[Mars]] furious at [[Colonel James Ackerson]] for tricking the Covenant into believing in the [[Key of Osanalan]] and about to finish Ackerson off with his [[Jiralhanae Combat Knife]].

Truth successfully escaped, as did Lepidus, but every Covenant unit who stayed in the room was killed by John-117.

*Lepidus' armor looks like the original [[Brute Captain]]'s armor, cut from ''[[Halo 3]]''. This is likely due to the fact that the first issue of ''[[Halo: Uprising]]'' was released before ''Halo 3''.
